There are two main components of a filer: directories and files.
|
|
|
|
My previous approach was to use some sequance number to generate directoryId.
|
|
However, this is not scalable. The id generation itself is a bottleneck.
|
|
It needs careful locking and deduplication checking to get a directoryId.
|
|
|
|
In a second design, each directory is deterministically mapped to UUID version 3,
|
|
which uses MD5 to map a tuple of <uuid, name> to a version 3 UUID.
|
|
However, this UUID3 approach is logically the same as storing the full path.
|
|
|
|
Storing the full path is the simplest design.
|
|
|
|
separator is a special byte, 0x00.
|
|
|
|
When writing a file:
|
|
<file parent full path, separator, file name> => fildId, file properties
|
|
For folders:
|
|
The filer breaks the directory path into folders.
|
|
for each folder:
|
|
if it is not in cache:
|
|
check whether the folder is created in the KVS, if not:
|
|
set <folder parent full path, separator, folder name> => directory properties
|
|
if no permission for the folder:
|
|
break
|
|
|
|
|
|
The filer caches the most recently used folder permissions with a TTL.
|
|
So any folder permission change needs to wait TTL interval to take effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When listing the directory:
|
|
prefix scan of using (the folder full path + separator) as the prefix
|
|
|
|
The downside:
|
|
1. Rename a folder will need to recursively process all sub folders and files.
|
|
2. Move a folder will need to recursively process all sub folders and files.
|
|
So these operations are not allowed if the folder is not empty.
|
|
|
|
Allowing:
|
|
1. Rename a file
|
|
2. Move a file to a different folder
|
|
3. Delete an empty folder
